Matt and all BB fans, I have been to to the brink of insanity and come back with updated ports of blackbox, boxtools, bbpager and bbkeys: blackbox-0.70.0 A small and fast window manager for X11R6 boxtools-0.70.0 Style tools for the blackbox family of window managers bbpager-0.4.0 A pager for the Blackbox window manager bbkeys-0.9.0 A keygrabber for the Blackbox window manager You can get the port tarballs and patches[1] and packages[2] built on 5.4-PRERELEASE from my site. [If you really want 4.x packages and can't manage it yourself, then let me know]. I'm not yet sure how to approach the issue of PRs for these updates since while I am happily running all these, the bbpager port is based on the current CVS branch as there is no 0.4.0 release (yet)*. The bbpager-0.3.1 port does not work with the others. Another issue is that various files have moved or changed, commands have been added, various config files have changed syntax, at least one command has changed switches and this has not been addressed in these ports. If you update, then be prepared to mess with the names and contents of various config files. If you're comfortable messing with these, then please go ahead and update and give feedback. In case you're wondering, the new stuff is worth trying. So far, it's all running perfectly for me[3]. FYI, the correct answer to the libbt.pc location comes courtesy of Ade Lovett and is to add "USE_GNOME= gnomehack pkgconfig" to the Makefile. This automagically does the path substitutions. * [If you build from CVS, then you'll need autoconf-2.59_2 and automake-1.5_2,1. Run aclocal15 ; autoheader259 ; automake15 --foreign -a -c ; autoconf259 and create a tarball of the (renamed) bbpager-0.4.0 directory to use as the distfile.] [1] http://halplant.com:88/software/FreeBSD/ports/ [2] http://halplant.com:88/software/FreeBSD/packages/ [3] http://halplant.com:88/images/bb-0.70.0.png [nb.
